Description: "Pulp Surrealism weaves an interpretative history of the intersection between mass print culture and surrealism, reevaluating both our understanding of mass culture in early twentieth-century Paris and the revolutionary aims of the surrealist movement." "Walz's exploration of mass print culture as one of the cultural milieus from which surrealism emerged ultimately calls into question assumptions about the avant-garde origins of modernism itself."--BOOK JACKET.
